The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) awarded a $3,138.75 fixed-price purchase order to Verizon Washington, DC Inc. on April 6, 2023, for 3 kilohertz telecommunications service support. The contract, designated CP001242EBM, carries an ultimate completion date of August 22, 2029, and will be performed in Washington, DC. This award was made without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Verizon Washington, DC Inc., a subsidiary of Verizon Maryland LLC and ultimately part of Verizon Communications Inc., is a telecommunications service provider specializing in government communications infrastructure. The contract employs a fixed-price structure with economic price adjustment provisions, which are standard mechanisms used to account for inflation or other cost fluctuations over the performance period.

DISA's selection of Verizon reflects the agency's ongoing telecommunications modernization efforts and its reliance on commercial telecommunications providers for critical voice and data services supporting defense operations. The 3 kilohertz voice circuit service represents a foundational telecommunications capability essential to DISA's mission of providing information technology and communications support to the Department of Defense. Verizon's extensive portfolio of federal contracts across multiple agencies, particularly with DISA and the Department of Defense, demonstrates the company's established capability to deliver mission-critical telecommunications infrastructure. The economic price adjustment mechanism in this contract protects both the government and contractor interests across the extended six-year performance period through August 2029.
